Don't ostracise FT, embrace them, even marry them!
50. Ultimately success depends not just on government policy, but also on personal relationships
a. e.g. Ms Dahlia Ho, 28, currently a medical technologist at Changi General Hospital
b. She came to Singapore from Hong Kong in 1996 at age 14
c. She was a bit scared of Singapore at first, having heard rumours that people were not allowed to drink coke or chew gum here
d. She was one of only a few foreigners at her new school, and was worried about fitting in
e. But local students welcomed her, and bonded with her through sharing snippets about Hong Kong stars
f. When she started working, her supervisor, a local Singaporean, guided and mentored her, and made a huge impact on her life
g. The supervisor was understanding and supportive when her mother fell terminally ill, and she had to take time off
h. Because of the kindness shown to her by Singaporeans she came across over the years, she recently decided to take up Singapore citizenship
i. She is now married to a local-born Singaporean, whom she met in JC (hope for babies soon)
